SUMMARY:Exhibition: All in a Cave of Snow - the Strange Tale of Elizabeth Woodcock
DESCRIPTION:If your curiosity is piqued by the extraordinary\, then we have quite a tale to tell you \nCome visit and discover more about the remarkable Elizabeth Woodcock\, a resident of the village of Impington who survived for nearly eight days in a cave of snow after a fall from her horse on a tempestuous evening in February 1799. \nBased around contemporary accounts\, our exhibition uses objects from our own collection to illustrate Elizabeth’s tremendous fortitude\, as she struggled to survive in her icy cavern with just an almanac\, a snuff box\, a nutcracker\, a red handkerchief and a shoe. We will also explore the obsolete and rather alarming medicinal treatments that she endured after she was found. \nHer amazing survival story spread across the county and then countrywide and many flocked to her with gifts that included bountiful amounts of liquor. Such generous quantities of alcohol – both from well-wishers and from doctors – may well have accelerated her declining health and caused her death just five months later in July.  \nPerhaps it might be said that Elizabeth died as a result of kindness… \nVisit our blog and discover the link between Elizabeth\, a common item of clothing and a famous nursery rhyme. \nThis exhibition is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association

SUMMARY:Activity: Heroines\, Highwaymen and Hereward the Wake: Tales from the Fens
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Cambridgeshire had its own Robin Hood? \nInspiration for the quintessential English hero is said to come from Hereward the Wake\, a rebellious and somewhat frightful man who roamed the Fens and rallied the people to oppose William the Conqueror during the 11th century. \nHereward became a local hero. Many incredible and often farfetched tales were told about him for hundreds of years after his death. The alehouses and inns of the county were filled with songs of his adventures. \nWhile he is not forgotten today\, like many other such heroes his story has faded from popular culture. \nHeroines\, Highwaymen and Hereward the Wake: Tales from the Fens is a craft and storytelling workshop led by puppet maker and animator Heather Colbert. \nJoin us and help to recount the tales of extraordinary local personalities using puppets that you will make during the session. We will be recording the performance and sharing it on our website for others to learn about these legendary characters. \nHeroines\, Highwaymen and Hereward the Wake: Tales from the Fens is suitable for children aged 7-15. Materials will be provided. \nTickets are free\, but you must book so that we can manage attendance. \nThis activity is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association
